I carried the P226 for years, and it was a good piece overall. My only dislikes where the high bore access causing excessive muzzle flip prolonging target acquisition and additional unnecessary controls (decoker/safety). I trained to manipulate the controls with my support hand while keeping a correct primary hand grip maintaining threat covery (even during mag changes) a reality. Sorry, dropped into payed gunslinger mode.

Ever tried the FBI Thumbs Forward grip? Adopting that grip ended the muzzle flip issue I'd experienced with the .40 cal. P229 I've carried for the past 13 years. Sig's DAK system replaces the decocker/safety you disliked. Give it a try, if you haven't already done so.
